Well after a year the F-30 is coming together. Finaly got a lull in the wind and sqirted paint today. Yes, I am The Shade Tree Mechanic. But even in good daylight that dark grey is getting harder to see.
My question is the tires. I have a set of 13x36 for the back. Now I always thought there was a spacer that could be added to the front spindle to raise the front end. Boy was I wrong! Like Duhhh, The shaft has to be longer too. So now I am considering putting on a set of good used 7.50 impliment tires. Has anyone done this? I am not sure if they will clear the cultivator brackets.

There is a conversion which can be done to raise the front end about 3". It does involve adding a 3" section to the lower part of the steering shaft and slipping a 3" spacer over the shaft. This raises the front end up and the lower bolster bearing rests on the top of the spacer. I have a Regular with this conversion, and have seen many others done like it. I have a friend who did it recently with great sucess. It was done when the steels were replaced by rubber. I don't know if it was a 'Dealer' item, or just any garage was doing it. I did not find any mention of it in the parts books and have no idea what happened when IHC sold a tractor with rubber from the factory. You can do the conversion, but it will modify the tractor. Have you considered sticking with steels?
